A full quarter of an hour later, Bai Piaopiao finally finished her deduction work, sighing with emotion.
"Young Master Ye, I am impressed!"
"I have carefully deduced the blueprint you have in hand and found that this hidden weapon is indeed extremely powerful!"
"If it can be made with good materials, I estimate it would be no problem even dealing with those at the peak of the seventh level of Qi Condensation!"
Ye Fei merely smiled and shook his head.
"This is nothing, just an ordinary blueprint."
What Bai Piaopiao considered precious, Ye Fei saw as scrap paper. This made Bai Piaopiao even more convinced that Ye Fei must have an extraordinary background.
Could he be someone from a hidden family undergoing trials?
Bai Piaopiao mused, her thoughts racing.
"Alright, let's stop rambling."
"Now, let's get down to business."
Ye Fei reminded her.
"Since the Heavenly Demon Stone has been separated, let's begin the experiment now!"
Bai Piaopiao also said seriously.
"Good, I happen to have a blueprint for a precious sword here. We can refine this sword and see!"
After they agreed, Bai Piaopiao ordered people to bring the materials she needed.
"Alright, Young Master Ye, I'm starting now!"
Bai Piaopiao was quite confident in her artifact refining skills, so she took the lead.
"Good, then I'll just sit here and wait to see your final result."
Ye Fei grinned and sat aside, starting to drink tea and eat snacks.
Once all the materials were ready, Bai Piaopiao first prepared to split the Heavenly Demon Stone in half. However, no matter how she chopped, the Heavenly Demon Stone remained without a single mark.
Seeing this, Ye Fei quickly got up, and with his precious sword, he directly split the Heavenly Demon Stone in two.
"Alright, this half is yours, and I'll keep the remaining half for now."
Ye Fei said with a smile.
Then he put that half of the Heavenly Demon Stone into his Qiankun Bag.
Of course, the remaining half of the Heavenly Demon Stone was eventually split into four pieces under Bai Piaopiao's instruction.
Bai Piaopiao was even more impressed with Ye Fei when she saw that his precious sword could easily split such a hard material.
"Thank you."
After thanking him, Bai Piaopiao directly approached the artifact refining furnace and, with a bang, ignited the fire marrow.
The fiercely burning flames continuously scorched the walls of the furnace.
After reaching the predetermined temperature, Bai Piaopiao began to operate skillfully.
As time passed, the metallic materials inside the furnace had already melted into liquid.
Now came the most crucial step, which was to add a quarter of the Heavenly Demon Stone into the furnace.
"Slow!"
"Hold on!"
"Let me ask you a question first!"
"What is the grade of the artifact refining furnace in front of you?"
Ye Fei urgently stopped her and asked.
"Are you implying that my artifact refining furnace might not be able to withstand the temperature required to melt the Heavenly Demon Stone?"
Bai Piaopiao immediately retorted.
"Of course, the temperature required to melt the Heavenly Demon Stone is extremely high. Ordinary artifact refining furnaces simply cannot bear it and will inevitably crack. Wouldn't that be a wasted effort?"
Ye Fei said calmly.
"You are right. Fortunately, you stopped me in time, thus avoiding disaster."
"I'll have someone send a high-grade artifact refining furnace over!"
Without delay, Bai Piaopiao immediately called her subordinates, who quickly transported a furnace with an ancient and heavy appearance.
Under Bai Piaopiao's guidance, it was placed in the adjacent position.
"Not bad, this furnace is sufficient."
After Ye Fei confirmed, Bai Piaopiao resumed the new round of artifact refining.
After a series of operations, Bai Piaopiao again arrived at the step of refining the Heavenly Demon Stone.
Due to the exceptional hardness of the Heavenly Demon Stone, melting it required a higher temperature.
Bai Piaopiao unleashed several streams of primal energy, and the flames instantly became much fiercer.
Clang, clang, clang.
But in Ye Fei's opinion, it was still far from enough.
More vigorous flames were needed.
"Continue to increase the heat!"
Ye Fei reminded her.
Bai Piaopiao also realized the problem and unleashed several more streams of primal energy.
Boom, boom, boom.
Even fiercer flames quickly ignited.
Due to the excessive temperature, Bai Piaopiao was already sweating profusely, her clothes soaked through, in less than a moment.
Even Ye Fei was not comfortable, his clothes could be wrung out for water.
But judging by the situation, it would likely take another hour or two to melt the Heavenly Demon Stone.
This would not do; it had to be melted quickly!
"Miss Bai, let me lend you a hand!"
Ye Fei could no longer remain idle. He stood up and came to her side, unleashing several surging streams of primal energy with a bang. The flames immediately surged out, engulfing the entire furnace.
Bai Piaopiao, witnessing the might of Ye Fei's primal energy, could not help but reveal a look of astonishment.
However, she had no time to think further at this moment.
With Ye Fei's assistance, the speed of melting the Heavenly Demon Stone clearly increased significantly.
Especially as Ye Fei continuously unleashed his primal energy, the furnace fire remained very vigorous.
Finally, as both of them were somewhat exhausted, they heard crackling sounds emanating from within the artifact refining furnace.
"Excellent, it's finally melting!"
Bai Piaopiao's heart rejoiced, and she couldn't help but look at Ye Fei.
Ye Fei also breathed a sigh of relief. If this continued, he would have been roasted to death.
The crackling sounds did not last long.
Finally, after half an hour, the Heavenly Demon Stone had completely melted into liquid.
After passing through the cold water pool, the metallic material was finally placed on the stone slab by Bai Piaopiao.
Next came the familiar clanging sounds.
As for Ye Fei, he had already gone to the inner room, changed into dry clothes, and come out.
After a series of hammering, the materials on the stone slab had taken on a rough shape, forming the appearance of a precious sword.
Ye Fei, with renewed interest, approached Bai Piaopiao again, watching her proceed to the next step.
This next step was also extremely crucial, requiring complete concentration and not allowing even a single mistake.
The carving and shaping were also extremely meticulous. This task was actually not Bai Piaopiao's strong suit.
Therefore, her speed was also much slower.
After watching for a while, Ye Fei involuntarily frowned.
"Stop!"
"You stop for now!"
"This is wrong here!"
Ye Fei stopped her again.
Bai Piaopiao, her thoughts interrupted, said with some displeasure.
"Young Master Ye, I am currently performing a very important task, please do not disturb me!"
Seeing her displeased expression, Ye Fei still spoke.
"Of course, I wouldn't stop you for no reason!"
"I certainly have my reasons!"
"If you don't believe me, then I'll tell you!"
Then, disregarding her displeased expression, Ye Fei began to point out several of her mistakes.
"These few positions are clearly incorrect. If you continue to carve like this, you will ruin this precious sword!"
Ye Fei warned.
